What’s in a name?
Comedienne, star, activist, entrepreneur, daughter, wife, mother … just some of the ‘titles’ that come to mind when you think about this early trailblazer for women in radio and television. One-half of one of the most prominent comedy teams in American history, Gracie still serves as a role model for today’s women in media and entertainment.  

For 57 years, AWRT has served as the voice and resource for women in the electronic media. And for more than three decades, the Foundation of AWRT has been a leader in celebrating and honoring programming created for women, by women and about women, as well as individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the industry. The Gracies strive to encourage the realistic and faceted portrayal of women in entertainment, commercials, news, features and other programs.
